Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone! My kids (that I teach) are so excited about today. First of all because Thanksgiving is all that I have been talking about for the past three weeks. I am proud to say that eighty French school children now know the story of the pilgrims; they can tell you what sound a turkey makes in English (gobblegobble); and, most importantly of all, they can sing "Over the River and Through the Woods" in English and in French! And secondly, they are excited because they all know by now that I am bringing bonbons (candy) to my classes, in honor of the great meal that I'm missing today.
Alas, it is true. I eat no turkey this day. For the first Thanksgiving in my whole life I am eating quiche lorraine for lunch and powdered soup for dinner (just add water!). But do not pity me, my friends, because I am leaving in the morning for a weekend of shopping at Christmas markets in Munich! I probably won't eat turkey there either, but I will have lots of warm gingerbread and Glühwein and possibly apfelstrudel too.
Have fun with your families and friends (les familles et les amis) and enjoy the great food you are about to devour. I will be watching Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (on surfthechannel.com) and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (on youtube).
